Black Restlessness (2022)  

Video installation with projection on flour  

1.80 m × 50 cm in height  

A circle of white flour becomes an ephemeral canvas and a miniature planet. On this surface—which evokes both the purity of wheat and the fragility of human sustenance—dystopian images of a desolate landscape and traces of a civilization in crisis are projected. The flour, an ancestral symbol of survival and sustenance, here questions global inequality and indifference to collapse.  

The work materializes a paradox: the same matter that nourishes is used to map hunger. Ground wheat grains, under the beam of light, become eroded and deserted mountains. The projections, fluctuating like dust, refer us to the precariousness of the systems that sustain life.  

Black Worries exposes the fracture between abundance and dispossession: flour as pure white becomes a map of dark "worries" where ecological loss, social injustice, and a threatening future converge—a world reduced to crumbs.
